Some random pictures. The buildings seem to be covered with ceramics. The effect of sun, water and ceramics is wonderful.

Valencia - Oceanografico
Let's go to the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia, to the Oceanografic park.
We spent half a day in the Aquarium. Sadly, my camera would not work properly inside. That is a shame because they have several huge aquariums, with tunnels there. If you happen to go to Valencia, you must visit it.
Anyway, the outdoor buildings are worth the sight:
This is the aviary:
The following pictures are from the park

Valencia - Botanic Garden
This post is picture-heavy...
The botanic garden is in the middle of Valencia. For us, it looked quite exotic. We have been wondering all the plants there. Mainly because they grow taller here than in France.

Valencia
So, I spent the last weekend in Spain. I first went by coach to Barcelona, where my daughter was waiting for me at the station. Then we took the train to Valencia.
It was an Euromed train, a high speed train traveling from Barcelona to Alicante. It was very much like boarding on a plane, same safety rules, boarding cards, dedicated plateforms, stewards in each car, videos and in the upper classes, you can also order special meals.
I could no see the surrounding of Barcelona, as it was still dark. As we were nearing Valencia, we were surrounded with citrus trees, every single spot had a tree on it. Very impressive.
Even closer to Valencia, the citrus trees were replaced with vegetables. The landscape turned into a huge vegetable garden, with some concrete or ceramics plants in between.
The first surprise were those ladies wearing traditional dresses:
